Leviticus 17:11-14

11ForH3588 the lifeH53151 of the fleshH1320 is in the bloodH1818, and IH589 have givenH5414 itH1931 to you to make atonementH3722 forH5921 your soulsH5315 uponH5921 the altarH4196; forH3588 itH1931 is the bloodH1818 that makes atonementH3722 for the soulH5315. 12ThereforeH5921H3651 I sayH559 to the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘NoneH3605H5315H3808 of you may eatH398 bloodH1818, nor mayH3808 any foreignerH1616 livingH1481 among youH8432 eatH398 bloodH1818.’

13And if anyH376 IsraeliteH1121H3478H4480 or foreignerH1616 livingH1481 among themH8432 hunts downH6679 a wildH2416 animalH6718 orH176 birdH5775 thatH834 may be eatenH398, he must drainH8210 its bloodH1818 and coverH3680 it with dirtH6083. 14ForH3588 the lifeH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320 is its bloodH1818. Therefore I have toldH559 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘You must notH3808 eatH398 the bloodH1818 of anyH3605 living thingH1320, becauseH3588 the lifeH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320 is its bloodH1818; whoeverH1931H3605 eats itH398 must be cut offH3772.’
